LPSS board meeting to tackle lawsuit, pay changes and new policies

Several items with potentially long-term financial and operational impacts for Lafayette Parish schools are slated for action at this Thursday's Lafayette Parish School Board meeting.

Contenders and pretenders as 31 Lafayette-area football teams reach postseason

The matchups are set and the times locked in. And with the 2026 LHSAA football playoff brackets released, the road to the Superdome is laid out. Thirty-one teams from Lafayette Parish and its surrounding area made the cut, earning their spot across the eight divisions. Among those teams, some have a destiny that includes hardware coming back to their respective communities. Other teams will have a different path, some may call it an underdog route, as they look to shock the state with deep postseason runs. For some teams, the postseason journey may be a short one with tough opening-round matchups on the docket that may be too much to handle. The Daily Advertiser has decided to place each area team in one of three categories as either state championship contenders, pretenders or darkhorses. A championship contender is a team likely to play in the Superdome. A pretender is a team that likely won’t make it past the first or second round. The darkhorses? Well, it's anyone's guess. Contenders Eunice (10-0): The Bobcats earned the No. 3 seed and a bye in the Non-Select Division II bracket after completing a perfect regular season for the fifth time in school history.
